Trisha Krishnan and Thalapathy Vijay have long been considered Tamil cinema's most beloved on-screen pair. Their chemistry in hit films such as *Ghilli*, *Thirupaachi*, *Aathi*, and *Kuruvi* drove fans wild. However, following 2008, the duo did not work together for nearly 15 years. Do you know the reason why?

When Trisha Krishnan posted an appeal on Thursday, urging people to cast their votes in the ongoing Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, her post garnered significant attention—albeit for entirely different reasons. Netizens were quick to notice that, within her post, the actress had utilized the song "Arjunar Villu" from the 2013 hit film *Ghilli*—a movie in which Vijay also played the lead role.

Although Trisha removed the specific segment of the song that featured the "Whistle"—the party symbol of the TVK—this move only served to reignite rumors regarding her alleged romantic involvement with Vijay. But did you know that there was a period when Trisha and Vijay refrained from working together for 15 years and even maintained a visible distance from one another in public? Let's explore the reasons behind this.

For years, Trisha and Vijay have remained Tamil cinema's most cherished on-screen duo. Their spectacular chemistry in hit films like *Ghilli* (2004), *Thirupaachi* (2005), *Aathi* (2006), and *Kuruvi* (2008) captivated audiences. Following the release of *Kuruvi* in 2008, fans—mesmerized by their on-screen rapport—began speculating about the nature of their relationship off-screen as well.

After *Kuruvi*, Vijay and Trisha abruptly ceased working together, thereby intensifying rumors that they had grown romantically close during the filming of *Ghilli*. Reports even surfaced suggesting that, in the wake of *Kuruvi*, Vijay's family had instructed him to distance himself from Trisha.

However, both stars have consistently denied any romantic involvement, maintaining that they are merely good friends. In 2023, Vijay and Trisha worked together on the film *Leo* after a gap of 15 years, a reunion that left their fans incredibly excited.

During the promotions for *Leo*, the duo was spotted together on numerous occasions and even shared photos with one another on social media. When Trisha shared a selfie from Vijay's birthday celebration, rumors regarding their alleged affair resurfaced once again.

In February 2026, Sangeetha Sornalingam—wife of TVK chief and actor Thalapathy Vijay—filed for divorce in a family court in Tamil Nadu. After more than 25 years of marriage, she accused Vijay of infidelity. Sangeetha alleged that Vijay was involved in an extramarital affair with an actress—information she claimed to have discovered in 2021.

It was for this reason that she decided to seek a legal separation. However, the divorce petition did not explicitly name the actress with whom Vijay was alleged to be involved. Nevertheless, social media users were convinced that the actress in question was none other than Trisha.
